The theme is... Future of the Tentacles
In this alternate universe of Day of the Tentacle Bernard and his friends failed to stop Purple Tentacle and the tentacles rule the earth in the future (the future Laverane traveled to).
There are a few human resistances existing and fighting against the tentacle tyranny, who now use humans as pets. These humans are called Rabid Humans by the tentacles.
Naturally, the town in this setup are all Tentacles! And the Rabid Humans are the mafias.
Role examples:
Tentacle = Special Citizen, these citizens have the ability to visit any home they want. This does affect the game, if they aren't home they can't be killed or converted, but if they are at the home of someone who is attacked/targeted then they die or are converted as well. If they visit humans they can't tell because the humans wear Tentacle disguises as clothes. Visited people do get a message they were visited, but not by who, the message includes how many tentacles visited your home, if more than one did. *This can be alot of work for the moderator, so probably a required thing to have two moderators if these are used.
Catcher = Sheriff. These tentacles specialize in identifying humans through their disguises and can discover who is a human by checking them at night.
Purple Tentacle = Mayor, has 6 votes but cannot be healed. Immune to becoming cult - explained further down. Any Tentacle or Human lynched by his vote will be shrunk by his famous Shrink-Ray and then fed to his pet, a cannibal human.
Healer = Doctor. Tentacles who have learned the arts of healing, they channel special ki found only in tentacles in order to heal their targets. Thus they cannot tell if their patients are tentacles or humans. They do know if their target was attacked or not, however. Additionally they specalize in psychological studies and can alternatively choose to prevent cult recruitment.
Green Tentacle = Revolution Leader. Yes he's still around, and as old as his nemesis. Having drank from the sludge in order to match Purple's intellect he now seeks to become the new supreme ruler of the tentacles, and lead a more human-friendly regimen. Make no mistake however, he won't stand for the Rabid Humans' existance either, he wants order!
Laverane = Godmother. Stuck in the future with no backup and noway to return, Laverane steals the now tentacle-shaped flag of the united states from the mansion's roof to use as her disguise. Surprisingly this makes even Catchers unable to see through her disguise, maybe because they like the colors. She leads one faction of Rabid Humans and seeks to destroy all tentacles, and her rival faction of humans, The Edisons, who she deeply hates and blames them for the misfortune they caused - for it was their forefather Dr. Fred Edison who created Purple Tentacle and the sludge machine in the first place.
Purple Tentacle the 2nd = Cult Leader. An insane clone of the original Purple Tentacle, he worships what he calls the one true Tentacle God. To Tentacles this seems absurd as they normally have no faith at all. He is very charismatic however, and can sway any Tentacle, and even humans, to join him in his beliefs. This guy actually also wants co-existance between Tentacles and Humans, all united through faith. There is one Tentacle he could never convince however, and that is the original Purple.
Red Bull - An angry cow who accidentally drank from the sludge back in Purple's younger days and gained human intellect and horns. She is female but decided to call herself "Red Bull" after seeing her new horns. She holds a grudge against Purple Tentacle because he tipped her and many other cows when he first gained arms. "Red Bull" is a serial killer out to kill all tentacles, she cannot tell who is a human in disguise and she also doesn't really care, its not like she ever liked humans.
Fraud = Dr. Fred's preserved brain inside a robotic shell. He knew he failed to stop Purple, and that he could never live long enough to do anything about it so he had his brain installed in a new body by his son, Ed. Something went wrong, however, and Fred lost his sanity... All he remembers is that he must destroy tentacles, to that end he plants bombs at night, and can blow them up at night or at day. Yes, he is an "Arsonist".
Well, what do you think? Obviously I can come up with variations of every role for this :P
